Inspired by Russian typography, this typeface was created for the 'analogue' typeface project for UWE. My inspiration came from looking at old Russian propaganda posters, predominately Agitprop, and their bold, visually striking typefaces. I began by drawing and experimenting on grid paper to which I then translated onto Fontstruct to create 'DYSTOPIA'.
BS1 Ink-Bleed is a typeface made for "What The Font?" project
As you can see I was inspired by different graffiti and tags that I saw on Bristol streets. I decided to use simple style letters for better readability in this small grid.
I wrote each letter on cardboard, and pixelated on computer after that. I like that this method gives nice distortion/noise and nice realistic shapes.

Inspired by the iconic analogue synthesizers of the 1980s and audio in its rawest form.
Juno is primarily built around the basic shapes of the Square, Triangle and Sawtooth waveforms. Each glpyh is specifically designed to be as unique as possible and incorporates a mixture of left and right diagonal cut-throughs in order to maximise legibility.
This is a cloneThe origin of this design was me thinking about all the times I have seen a poster or ad, where the modern style of the typography has had success trying communicate the message that was intended. It became a personal goal to create a font that would unite a piece of my personal life, which in this case it is the city where I was born and my chosen style. My country is known for having many volcanos, so I decided to place elements that would represent the volcano but at the same time keeping the modern style. The circles in each letter imitate the view of a volcano from above, it is subtle but it is there, and to me will always be fascinating when we get to discover new information when it is explained by the artist, but it was always there, however, we were not able to see it through the artist’s point of view.
A modern revamp of the font used in the original release of Windows, "Fixedsys", many of the fonts used in this era have been kept updated and modernised, such as Chicago, the first macOS font, whereas Fixedsys hasn't. I looked to those other modernisations and applied the same principles here to update this classic typeface.
This is a cloneMy fontstruct is inspired by Telephone Boxes. I was interested in the history of the first mass technology in Britain and telephones boxes are a famous symbol of that. The british emblem shape on the telephone boxes inspired the shape of the type and I developed it into all the letters.
Sprocket is a display font inspired by the use of old Film stock found in VHS tapes, Cine cameras and Film photo cameras. It contains elements of Origami to create a sense of fluidity and as if some characters were formed from one peice of film stock. I named it Sprocket after the use of sprocket holes on the edges of the font, the holes are used to help keep the frame centered whilst traveling through a camera or tape.
A typeface inspired by the home of Fine Art in Bristol, the Arnolfini Building. This takes queues from its grotesque, black-letter typeface along the outside. Working on a small scale allowed me to ensure the uniformity of each character.
"Cassette" a font that echoes the essence of analog technology, particularly the classic cassette. It encapsulates the significance of a time when cassettes were a cultural cornerstone, infusing your designs with a nostalgic touch of that bygone era.
I chose to base this font on a deck of cards to play into the idea of complex simplicity. Playing cards start off as the most simplistic form of gameplay where games vary in complexity all the way from go fish snap to bridge and poker.
Analogue can be defected and worn over time, which is the inspiration for this typeface. I looked at posters and stickers around Bristol that had been ripped or destroyed. The typeface was created from a 'P' shape I found by enlarging a torn up section on a poster.
as an avid drinker of coffee i wanted to make a font ispired by the very source of my favorite beverage, a coffee bean. i incorporated the signature and most recognizable feature of a coffee bean, the line in the middle, otherwise known as a "fissure". The name Toraja comes from the name of a coffee plant from indonesia, my home country. its earthy and bold flavors is reflected upon my font, strong and pronounced.
This typeface is inspired by retro arcade games. I wanted a blocky style to represent how the old typefaces looked like. One typeface which inspired this one is one Atari made for their video game Sprint 2. I used a 12x12 grid to help me create the blocky look to it. I used a 3x3 grid in the corners empty to keep a consistent look to each letter.
I am a graphic design student at UWE bristol. I have created a digital typeface inspired by bristol docks, i looked alot at the hooks on the cranes and used the shapes from that and other machinery for the structure of my letters.
My typeface is inspired by the lettering that people vandalise park benches with by scratching intials or short phrases onto them. It is a jagged font replicating the inability to scratch curves effectively when using a knife on metal or wood. The characters vary slightly in size in order to achieve a hand made effect.
Whilst designing my typeface i decided to explore the places i live near on stokes croft and study the typefaces they use for their branding, Its mainly pubs and music venues that stand out to me so i attempted to create a font that i could imagine on the face of a cosy candlelit music venue/pub. It ended up looking more like it should belong outside CEX but i tried :o
i looked around bristol at different grafitti. i found depending on the area where the grafitti was depended on what it looked like. differnet cultural settings such as city centre and clifton showed differnt styles. i focused my project on grafitti i found around Bearpit in city centre, looking at the quick and carefree grafitti around it.
My font Slash, is based off of the theme "protect". I chose to base my type on different swords including fantasy based designs. The tip and edges of the letters are based on different sort of tips on swords. This gives my font a sharp and dangerous feel which links to swords.
This typeface is based around the theme of 'Protect', using banana peels to create letter forms. I physically manipulated banana peels into shapes of letters, using these as references to create quirky and fun sans-serif letters.
a fan font of Axzidenz-Grotesk and Customer Serif.
Note: This is the serif font you see when typing monospaced Asian English characters in Minecraft.
Also, the characters are taken on a large grid, that's because there are only 66 glyphs. Fanmade Hebrew and Korean are to construct and follow rules of creativity like: no copying others work, be constructive.
(Please note that this font is not fully accurate, so you may see some fanmade glyphs.)

This typeface was galvanized from the word 'protect', with the letters made up of spikes influenced by the spikes on the skin of animals such as hedgehogs and porcepines which protect them from predators, and the spikes on plants which protect them in the same way.
A block, graffiti inspired, font with sprays of imperfection and an urban aesthetic. The letters are structured equal in width and length and are all designed in capital. The graphic elements both inside and outside the typeface enhance a "technologically programmed" (pixelated) feel to the overall font.
